غُسْلٌ
1.
the subst. from غَسَلَهُ [i. e. a subst. signifying A washing]: (S, Msb:) or a subst. (IKoot, Mgh, Msb, K, TA) from الاغتسال, (IKoot, Mgh, Msb, TA,) and [as such] signifying a complete washing [of oneself, i. e.] of the whole person: (IKoot, T, Mgh, Msb, TA:) it is in consequence of جَنَابَة [q. v.], and of childbirth, and for [the prayers of] Friday, and is the washing of the dead; but in other cases, the word
غَسْلٌ, with fet-h, is used: (Ham p. 30:) and one says
غُسُلٌ as well as غُسْلٌ, (S, O,) the former being a dialect var. of the latter: (TA:) El-Kumeyt says, describing a wild ass,
[Beneath the (tree called) أَلَاءَة, in two sorts of washing that continued during the night upon him with much pouring and much dropping]; meaning that the water that was upon the tree poured upon him at one time; and at one time, that of the rain: (S, TA:) the plural of غُسْلٌ is أَغْسَالٌ. (Msb.) See also غَسْلٌ.تَحْتَ الأَلَاءَةِ فِى نَوْعَيْنِ مِنْ غُسُلٍبَاتَا عَلَيْهِ بِتَسْجَالٍ وَتَقْطَارِ
